   Are all the Linux installs plus Windows all on the same HD?  Where did   
   you install Mdv2009's bootloader to yesterday, the MBR (probably   
   /dev/sda) or 2009's root partition (something like /dev/sda3 with a   
   number at the end)?  Remember, the MBR can only hold the boot sector for   
   one OS (whichever one you want).  For all the others, you'll need to   
   install their boot sector on their root partitions, and make sure they   
   have entries in the bootloader (e.g. GRUB) of whichever OS the MBR   
   points to.
